Re: Clome Stamp Info
Haha I am soooo out of touch with the real world, what is a 'clone stamp?'

Well, no. He released, on ALL physical copies, including vinyl and CD, artwork without the clone stamp.
It exists solely on the digital copies, and the aforementioned 12 x 12 art cover in the super deluxe edition. They are the only places where the clone stamp appears.

Hey listen if Bieber is doing it, then everyone is at it. So why not Moz? Photography is all lies anyway, always has been.
Nope. Sorry. On the UK deluxe CD version the picture on the front of the CD booklet still has the clone stamp. It's part of the official release, so tough.
The designers were really all over the place with this one in that case.
I had a back n' forth correspondence with the guy who did the WPINOYB sleeve and he said his original design was rejected by Morrissey. There was a photo shoot done and the designer said they were great photos but none of them were used, other than for his rejected version. Morrissey then designed the sleeve himself and told the guy where to put everything which is why he only gave himself a layout credit.
I did ask if i could see these photos but as Morrissey was with Harvest at the time he refused which is understandable. There is a possibility that the clone stamp would have been fixed but it wouldn't surprise me if Harvest didn't notice it and went ahead and printed it off before it could be corrected. They do seem to be a bunch of morons.
I must say the sleeve has grown on me since and I am not as opposed to it as I once was. I would loved to have seen the original designer's version.
Maybe try asking him now since he's no longer with Harvest?
Also, davidt advised me of what Morrissey said after Art-hounds was played live so I added it to the wiki articles. It's a lowercase h.
Yes I have thought of that. I may do it this week but I assume his answer is going to be no. I will try anyway. He is a very nice guy. We shared art work and he really liked my mock ups I did, especially the Palin Kick the Bride one.
i think it more fifty fifty. the cover of vauxhall is awful though i like arsenal
I love arse
Vauxhall is a beautiful photograph that matches the dreamy sound of the album, but the photo on the lp is all pixelated. They couldn't fix that?
I love arsenal.

Fun fact: on the super deluxe edition of WPINOYB, the art card cover that's inside the box (vinyl size) HAS the clone stamp, but the CD inside doesn't have it.

that's correct. really don't know why ryan is pushing this, nor why this is considered front page worthy. i mean, you can use the pic without the cloning, but to say it's silly, that everyone should have the so called normal v is silly in itself! this is Morrissey's catalog, his workmanship and should be left alone, imo. "clone stamp" is none of your business.
I shall never mention it again.

I think it's "great." CLONESTAMP has a lot of great anagrams such as "solemn pact" and "calms to pet" (It's calming to your pet). THat's why he keeps bringing it up, his alien brain knows CLONESTAMP is a go to of excellent words to work in green to deduce mood. #mindbabiesftw
